Fuel filter quick disconnect
Has anyone setup a "quick disconnect" for the primary filter? There has got to be a way to pop these in as opposed to pipe clamping them and having fuel run all over the place.
If not I may have to invent something. |
I too have looked into this. This is one thing that I looked at, but have not used it yet........... http://www.mcmaster.com/ page 176.

A 1/4 drive, & tiny socket makes dealing with hose clamps really fast and much less frustrating when your in a hurry (or anytime).;)

True, but a quick connect would be even easier and with the closed valves, a lot less of a mess with WVO. I use diesel purge every oil change and this would make the bottle hook up much, much easier. But I have not done this yet because of the cost of the connectors. Still not sure it is worth that!

Quick Disconnect
I once cobbled up a water vapor injection system for a high-compression gas engine (worked, too!) using little brass valves made to be aquarium air bubbler valves. Being brass, heat shouldn't kill them, and they had a little knurled wheel adjustment/shut-off. I think they came in different hose sizes.

I never seem to spill alot of fuel when I do my filters..

I never find myself loosing all that much fuel when I change mine. Still a neat Idea for someone who wants to keep it super tidy in the engine bay. |
I did mine with a nearly empty tank, with the front on ramps and the back wheels on the ground. I took off the clamps and there was a dribble of diesel, then nothing!
Just do it! |
